910 Wetherby-Tinseltown should go well but preference is for Overpriced who is easily top rated and may still have a bit more progress to come.
Back Overpriced 23pts at 3.9-UP(-23pts)The market move for Tinseltown proved significant and it won easily.

30th May

350 Sedgefield-Esme Rides A Gaine deserves a win after running so consistently this season,its very hard to see it not placing.Ballyvoneen should go well and is the main danger.
Back Esme Rides A Gaine 7.5pts Each Way at 13/2 at Victor Chandler-UP(-15pts)

29th May

815 Hexham-Zefooha and Loch Dhu look quite strong here and Madamlilly will also probably improve on its hcp debut.Thirty Days out has achieved a host of ratings that suggest it cant beat the first 2 mentioned.
Lay Thirty Days Out 50pts at 5.0-UP(+50pts)


855 Huntingdon-Quite competitve with Burnthill,Earcomesthedream & Mexican Bob all holding chances.Ive got Montys Revenge a little bit shorter so he looks overpriced.
Back Monty Revenge 7pts at 8.0 -UP(-7pts)Must have hit every hurdle and ran absolutely terrible despite shortening in the market during the day(DT+43pts)

255 Fakenham-There is a little concern about this shap track but everything else is in Absolute Shambles favour and is Richard Johnsons only ride of the day.
(Back Absolute Shambles 9pts at 5.7)*Non runner in the race take 13pts at 4.3 now-3rd(-13pts)Never travels well but didnt jump well enough


350 Kelso-Humbie and Rockabilly will both go well but are in the right place at the front of the market,I think Inverlochy Lad should be right there with them as it was performing well until running over a trip too far and really soft ground last time.
Back Inverlochy Lad 7pts at 12.0-PU(-7pts)Curious performance as it appeared to travel well and jump good and then just got pulled up.Very odd!(DT-20pts)

425 Kelso-Outrageous Request ran really well behind a blog winner last week and must have a good chance while Talk of Saafend burst back to life last time and is well overpriced.
Back Outrageous Request 12pts at 4.5(NON RUNNER) & Talk of Saafend 7pts at 12.0-2nd(-7pts)If there was ever a race to sum up this weeks poor tipping,it was this.Despite non runners Talk of Saafend was well backed and went past the eventual winner 200 yards from the line only for that to rally and carry my horse across the track with the rider unable to ride for the last 10 yards,no stewards enquiry incredibly and the winner was the stable second string in the race(DT-27pts)

26th May

245 Goodwood-Fiorente is fancied by the Stoute stable but ive got it as needing to improve and whether dropping back to 10 furlongs is going to make that happen is doubtful.Ive got this between Jet away and Retrieve with the latter most fancied.
Back Retrieve 14pts at 3.85-3rd(-14pts)Jet away was in a perfect position throughout to win


310 York-Gulf of Naples consistency just gets him the vote ahead of Cavalryman.
Back Gulf of Naples 15pts at 3.35-3rd(-15pts)


715 Newbury-Yojimbo looks like its runs this season have been over a trip too far it and dropped back to 8f,it has some ratings that can see it go close.
Back Yojimbo 4.5pts at 17.0-Wasnt matched after horse got backed in from 12s into 11/2.


630 Lingfield-I can only assume its Ryan Moores presence on the back of Piddies Power that has it so short,it has to be laid at that price.A better run from Nine before Ten wouldnt surprise me but Oh So Spicy is consistent and must go really close.
(Back Oh So Spicy 13pts at 3.65 & Lay Piddies Power 50pts at 5.5)*Non runner so revised Oh so spicy 20pts at 3.0-UP Lay Piddies Power 50pts at 5.0-Won(-220pts)Read the race terribly and paid for it(DT-249pts)

25th May

235 Goodwood-Most of this field have something to prove on turf but Welease Bwian is not only proven over trip and ground,hes also very consistent and should prove hard to beat.
Back Welease Bwian 16pts at 3.5-4th(-16pts)Winner won well but our horse was held wide for much of the race.


845 Musselburgh-Ive got this as a 3 horse race,Our Boy Jack should run well and appreciate the step up to 7 furlongs while Art Dzeko is improving but there is a slight query over the ground.On the hoof put up a good rating last time and is definitely the value call.
Back On the Hoof 7pts at 6.0-3rd(-7pts)No surprise that Our Boy Jack won,On the hoof had a poor run from a bad ride but I doubt wouldve beaten the winner anyway.(DT-23pts)


625 Towcester-Haar has already moved in the market overnight and I can see why as it produced the best rating in the race last time,its first form for a while and is very well handicapped.Amuse Me has a chance but is very inconsistent so Doctor Ric looks the main danger.
Back Haar 15pts at 5.0-Non Runner

24th May

420 Goodwood-Golan Way is impossible to rate here,making its return to the flat after over 1600 days.Its a good hurdler and could win easily but I feel it may be vulnerable.Al Kwaneej has been progressing well on the All Weather surface and the same can be said for Raasheed,they do still have to prove it on turf though.Saborido may well prove to be not good enough but it needs fast ground and a long trip,he hasnt had either of those things on its first 2 runs this season,it will run much better today and is totally the wrong price.
Back Saborido 8pts at 11.0-5th(-8pts)Well backed but didnt finish his race off after being bang there 2 out.


430 Wetherby-Another really tough race in keeping with nearly all this weeks racing.Fabalu will run well but is the right price while Brunswick Gold and The Magic Bishop will be thereabouts however back on good ground,Battlecry should run its usual good race.
Back Battlecry 5pts at 12.0 *Fabalu non runner revised stake*6pts at 9.0-UP(-6pts)Made a terrible error 5 out and was pulled up.(DT-14pts)
Monthly Total+291.10pts
Running Total+3621.25pts

23rd May

650 Worcester-Fiercely competitive race but a few have doubts about fitness,trip and ground.Panjo Bere has steadily found its form this year and is still very well handicapped.
Back Panjo Bere 6pts at 9.0-Pulled Up(-6pts)The betting told the story here as the horse went out to 16s,it was no surprise when it ran as terrible as it did.
Monthly Total+305.10pts
Running Total+3635.25pts

22nd May

715 Towcester-Pretty good race with a few inform and improvers.Jolly Boys Outing has to go well but is the right price,Like Ice and Roi De Garde should also be about but at a massive price,im going to take a chance on Magical Treasure,who achieved a decent rating last time on its chase debut and should be even better on the good ground.
Back Magical Treasure 5pts at 15.0

21st May

620 Leicester-There is a slight query if the ground firms up as the selection definitely likes a bit of cut but its running so well consistently ,that it must go well.
Back Tilsworth Glenboy 9.5pts at 5.3(1 No runner now so revised stake)12pts at 4.3-UP(-12pts)Unbelievably unlucky as the saddle slipped about halfway through the race ,the fact that the winner was a horse that we beat last time just proved how unfortunate it was.
Monthly Total+316.10pts
Running Total+3646.25pts

3.0 Market Rasen-Natural Spring is slowly improving and has the best rating of these already.Glingerbank & Andy Vic are the dangers
Back Natural Spring 9pts at 5.7-Won(+42.30pts)

330 Market Rasen-Pretty good race ,Im not certain about Springfield Raki on this ground as its best ratings are on soft,Spirit of Barbados will improve & Suburban Bay and Carabinier have both got the ratings to go close but  are capable of throwing in a poor run so the very consistent Quazy De Joie is fancied to go close.
Back Quazy de Joie 5.5pts at 10.0-4th(-5.5pts)Just got outpaced 4 out & plodded home(DT+36.8pts)

410 Ripon-Ashiri could well prove to be in a different class to these but i like the reliable Veiled Applause with the trip & ground perfect and a CD winner as well.
Back Veiled Applause 6pts at 14.0 to win & 6pts place at 4.6-Won(+99.6pts)Obviously a great call but this horse is so tough its unbelievable(DT+141.90pts)

730 Utttoxeter-The solid one is Worth a Kings and the money for Double Fortune is significant but Before Bruce has some good ratings over thsi distance and will like the ground.

18th May

230 York-Really good race,Arctic Cosmos is interesting going back over the distance that he achieved his best rating back in 2010 and Harris Tweed  should go well but the sheer consistency of Red Cadeaux gets the vote.
Back Red Cadeaux 11pts at 4.3-Won(+36.30pts)Stayed on Strongly to power home.

910 Hamilton-First in Command looks to be an improving sprinter and he can beat Bouncy Bouncy.
Back First In Command 8pts at 6.0(1 non runner in this race so take 5.0)-2nd(-8pts)(DT+28.3pts)

6.0 Perth-Kruzhilin appears on ratings to have be extremely well handicapped in its first race out of novice company.
Back Kruzhilin 30pts at 3.25-Won(+67.50pts)Good winner and was amazing value.


455 Fontwell-This is very weak and hopefully it will stay dry for Local Present,who likes at least good ground and showed a bit more last time.
Back Local Present 10pts at 9.0-4th(-10pts)Got smashed into Favourite then looked the winner jumping the last but demolished it and couldnt recover.(DT+57.50pts)

240 Wincanton-
Back Allformary to beat Boogie Dancer 40pts at 1.75-Won(+30pts)


320 Hereford-This looks between Themanfromfraam and Allerton and the fact that Richard Johnson is taking the ride is encouraging as he couldve rode a couple of these.
Back ThemanfromFraam 10pts at 4.5-Won(+33pts)*Non Runner after being matched*(DT+63pts)


610 Southwell-Dont like Thats the Deal here but as a dual CD winner,Im reluctant to lay it.Im the Decider is a big danger but Stormhoek at the bottom of the weights is the wrong price.
Back Stormhoek 8pts win 8.4-UP(-8pts)It clearly was the wrong price as it smashed into favourite but despite trading at 1.5 in running(and looking good) it weakened badly.(DT+55pts)


640 Southwell-Causing Chaos is an improving chaser and probably has Fabalu to beat as Only Vintage has stamina doubts & the others dont look good enough
Back Causing Chaos 11pts at 5.0-3rd(-11pts)Track may have been a bit sharp as it was on and off the bridle but its head carriage didnt inspire total confidence(DT+44pts)

440 Plumpton-Peplum is inconsistent but put up a decent rating last time and should be ok on the ground,he looks to have Evella to beat.I cannot see why Like Ice is so short in the betting.
Back Peplum 15pts at 3.35-UP(-15pts)


430 Uttoxeter-Sandhurst ran a good race last time and is very well handicapped if he could run to it again.Tarquinius is solid and must go well while Tuskar Rocks trainer is in great form.
Back Sandhurst 7pts at 8.4-2nd(-7pts)
Back Tarquinius to beat Tim the Chair 30pts at 1.85-Tarquinius non runner-no bet


Golf-Players Championship
Back R.Fowler 20pts at 5.2 & 20pts place(1st 5)at 1.6-2nd(-8pts)Fowler got 2 bad breaks with impossible lies but still had a great chance at the last to pile the pressure on Kuchar but a pushed putt ended his challenge.(DT-30pts)
